RDANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the bat-
tery pack.
RWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that
the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of
the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The
transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm
away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
CAUTION: NEVER use non-Icom battery packs/charg-
ers to prevent the loss of the transceiver’s good performance
and warranty.
DO NOT push [PTT] when not actually desiring to transmit.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C.
The basic operations, transmission and reception of the
transceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating
temperature range. However, the LCD display may not oper-
ate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours
of operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.
DO NOT modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty
does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modi-
fication.
KEEP the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and never
immerse it in the water. The transceiver meets IP55* require-
ments for dust-protection and water jet resistance.
However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dust-pro-
tection and water jet resistance cannot be guaranteed due
to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the water-
proof seal damaged, etc.
* Only when the supplied battery pack, flexible antenna and connec-
tor cover are attached.

BASIC OPERATION
■Channel selection
Several types of channel selections are available. Methods
may differ, according to your system set up.
NON-ZONE TYPE:
To select the desired operating channel:
• Push [CH Up] or [CH Down].
• Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR].*
- Up to preprogrammed 16 channels can be selected.
• Push one of [MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4].
ZONE TYPE:
To select the desired zone:
• Push [Zone], then push [CH Up] or [CH Down].
• Push [Zone Up] or [Zone Down].
• Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR].*
- Up to preprogrammed 16 zones can be selected.
* Depending on the pre-programmed settings.
When [Rotary selector] selects “Operating channel,” [CH Up] and
[CH Down] are not available.
When [Rotary selector] selects “Operating zone,” [Zone], [Zone
Up] and [Zone Down] are not available.
DVoting operation
The transceiver automatically starts scanning when a zone,
specified for the voting operation, is selected.
The voting scan detects the signal strength of the repeaters,
and automatically selects the strongest one.
AUTOMATIC SCAN TYPE:
Channel setting is not necessary for this type. When turning
the power ON, the transceiver automatically starts scanning.
Scanning stops when receiving a call.

■Call procedure
When your system employs tone signalling (excluding CTCSS
and DTCS), a call procedure may be necessary prior to voice
transmission. The tone signalling employed may be a selec-
tive calling system, which allows you to call specic station(s)
only, and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you.
qSelect the desired TX code channel according to your sys-
tem operator’s instructions.
• This may not be necessary, depending on the pre-programmed
settings.
• Refer to pages 14 and 15 for details.
w Push [Call] (assigned to one of the dealer programmable
keys).
eAfter transmitting, the remainder of your communication
can be carried out in the normal fashion.
Selective calling Non-selective calling
■Receiving and transmitting
CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna may damage
the transceiver. See page 1 for accessory attachments.
Receiving:
qRotate [VOL] to turn the power ON.
w Push [CH Up] or [CH Down], or rotate [ROTARY SELEC-
TOR]* to select a channel, in sequence.
*Depending on the pre-programmed settings.
eWhen receiving a call, rotate [VOL] to adjust the audio out-
put level to a comfortable listening level.
NOTE: Depending on the pre-programmed settings, the
transceiver automatically transmits the microphone audio
for the pre-programmed time period when a matching sig-
nal is received.
Transmitting:
Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference.
qWhile holding down [PTT], speak into the microphone at
your normal voice level.
• When a tone signalling system is used, the call procedure de-
scribed to the left may be necessary.
wRelease [PTT] to return to receive.
IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your signal;
1. Pause briefly after pushing [PTT].
2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm from your mouth, then
speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.

DTransmitting notes
•Transmitinhibitfunction
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:
- The channel is in the ‘Inaudible’ mode (“ ” (Audible icon)
does not appear.)
- The channel is busy. However, depending on the pre-
programmed settings, you can transmit when a call is re-
ceived that includes an unmatching (or matching) CTCSS
(DTCS), colour code, or Individual or Talkgroup ID.
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.
•Time-outtimer
If continuous transmission exceeds the pre-programmed
time-out timer limit, the transmission is cut off.
•Penaltytimer
After the transmission is cut off by the time-out timer, trans-
mission is further inhibited for the pre-programmed penalty
timer period.
DTX code channel selection
If the transceiver has a key assigned to TX Code CH Select,
the indication can be toggled between the operating channel
